2. WANTED: Nursing student tidbits of advice

   CCat replied to KellRrn2b's topic in General Students

   Oh my gosh, what a fantastic post! I start nursing school in the fall and I waver between excitement and nervousness. It's late (studied for Microbiology for several hours) but I'm going to go...

3. Overachievers

   CCat replied to student005's topic in General Students

   I think calling a nursing student an overachiever is a misnomer. We have to make good grades and that sometimes means putting in a lot of time studying and making the grades. It's not trying to...

4. Do friends outside of nursing school give you a hard time?

   CCat replied to hunnybaby24's topic in General Students

   I've actually lost a couple of friends over school. I even had a friend tell me how boring I've become. Yeah, I might be boring but at least I'm at home studying and working towards making a better...

6. do you ever just wanna yell..."Would you SHUT UP already???"

   CCat replied to coltsgrl's topic in General Students

   I can see both sides of this situation. On one hand, every student has the right to ask questions but on the other, there are those who constantly asks questions and then go on to argue with the...

7. should I take a&p I and a&pII at same time?

   CCat replied to hapiyogi's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

   I'm actually going to do it AP1 & AP2 at the same time in Winter Term to bring my GPA up and so I have the maximum number of points when I apply into the program where I go to school. I was...

8. Nursing options???

   CCat replied to littlesquirt's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

   Quantify "dirty work"? Do you mean cleaning up messes - poop, vomit, etc? I'm only in pre-nursing but I don't think you can really get away with not doing "dirty work." I'm going to sound preachy...

9. Im so confused about starting a nursing program!

   CCat replied to princesasabia's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

   Um, well, there really is no easy way going about getting a BSN. You have to take pre-requisite classes, apply into the program, get accepted into the program, get through nursing school, and then...

10. This might be the end of the road for me with nursing school

    CCat replied to Iwannabeababynurse's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Wow, quitting is a /big/ decision to make. What are you going to do? Why not think about taking one term off, work full time or get a second job (I don't know you or if you work or anything so I'm...

11. Starting Nursing School today.... So nervous :(

    CCat replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hey, congratulations! If you've already poured this much effort into getting into nursing school, it makes sense that you'll pour as much into graduating. I'm still working on my pre-reqs and I know...

12. Digital voice recorder?

    CCat replied to Java Mama's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I bought mine at the student bookstore. It's a small silver-colored Olympia that I bought for like $53 or something. It's a bit spendy but sooooo worth it,

13. MEOW! Catty nursing students

    CCat replied to OldShoesRock's topic in General Students

    I agree wholeheartedly. What matters is how you deal with it, which IMO would be to not even deal with it. Ignore gossip - don't start it, don't listen to it, don't participate in it. Go home and...

14. Digital voice recorder?

    CCat replied to Java Mama's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I couldn't live without mine. I would seriously drop a class if for some crazy reason my instructor won't let me have one in class. I can't take notes fast enough in class but with a dvr, I can get...

    CCat replied to bound4oregon's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I love it here. I can't imagine living anywhere else. Well, Hawaii maybe.
